The Railroad Deal.

The following statement is made by one
of the syndicate which is about to acquire
the control of the Baltimore and Ohio ::
president Garrett has granted an extension
of time in which to take up the majority of
the stock. There is no option given to any
one person, but written agreement is in
New York giving certain party the right
to buy the stock. The price is not more
than 200 per cent. The sale of the property
when eliminated will bring about settle
ment of the question OF entering New York
City, and the telegraph and express lines
will also be sold. Mr.. Sully has the same
interest as before in the syndicate. The
negotiations referring to the sale to the
Richmond Terminal failed on account OF
the refusal of the executive committee to
consent to the issue of the additional stock
necessary. The stock will be paid for in
cash, which will either be subscribed at once
by the syndicate or loaned by bankers, who
will issue negotiable certificates for it. The
formation of n new company is not contem-
plated. The securities may ultimately be
sold to the Richmond Terminal Company
but at a higher price than that paid by the
syndicate"
An alliance is contemplated between the
Jersey Central, Reading, Baltimore and
Ohio and Richmond Terminal, but each
property will retain its separate organization
and remain distinct corporations

The Late Judge G. E. Sinclair.

The announcement o. the death of this
gentleman was made in Yesterdays GA
zETTE. The following particulars are taken
from the Manassas Gazette:
Friday morning about 100 o'clock,
Judge Charles Edward Sinclair was found
dead in his room at the Cannon House A
servant who WAS sent 10 his room found him
lying on the floor, partly undressed, dead.
About o'clock an inquest was held BIZ
Justice c. II. S. Baxter, which resulted in Il
verdict of death from hemorrhagc of the
brain. Judge Sinclair was the second son
OF Mordica Sinclair, and was born in the
town of Dumfries, this county, in 1928.
When quite young his father moved to
Brentsville, where most of the subsequent
life of The deceased waa spent. Even in
early boyhocd he manifested the brightest
and most perceptible mental faculties, which
afterwards developed into one of the most
brilliant inlellects in Virginia. La al "old
field school" in the town of Brentsvile he
learned his first lessons in mental culture
and afterwards received a classical and legal
training at the University OF Virginia. As
student he was not close and pushing, but
displayed that wonderful retentiveness of
memory, that quickness of perception and
readiness that placed him among the lead
ing favorites OF his class, among whom were
Gen. Roger A. Pryor. of New York, Hon.
Beverly B Douglass, and others of equal note.
About the year Of 1S49 he came to Brents-
Vile and began the practice of his profess
sion. When quite yonng, not more than -
or % years of age, he was elected member
of the House Of Delegates of the Virginia
Legislature. When comparatively young
he married Miss Lucy Shackelford, beauti'
full and accomplished daughter of Judge
Shackelford Several children were born to
bless their union, but their spirits were not
congeual and a separation followed. The
offspIings each filled childs grave, and
the father never married again. The moth.
er formed another union which proved of
greater happiness. In tho beginning Of
President Buchanan's administration he was
appointed an associate with Judge Delaney
w. Echols, as United States District Judge
to Utah, which position he held until the
outbreak of the war. He accepted posi-
ton at Richmond under President Jefferson
Davis and worked nobly in defense Of his
kindred and mother State. After the war
hs edited the Memphis Aralanche for a
brief period. In 1869 OF 20 he returned to
his native county and again commenced
the practice of law. In about 1875 he was
appointed Attorney for the Commonwealth
| by Judge Aylett Nicol to fill the nnexpired
term of James Clark, esq. In the fall of
1878 he was elected to the State Senate
from this District, and served a full tenn.
Since that time he has practiced his profes.

Fort HAMILTON, March l2-The day

winds like those of yesterday prevailed, and
the tumble and roll of the waters continued.
The white caps were on the increase and
the strong northwesterly breeze scattered
the glistening spray at will. In the early
morning the crews on board the yachts al

near the starting point. The preparatory
signal was given ten minutes before
the start. Every one was on the
alert and when the final gun was
given all were watching earnestly. When
the yachts started on their long race the
wind, which had moderated to 25 miles an
hour, increased again and was blowing from
the north at the rate of 80 miles an hour.

An IMPORTANT observation-disclosures General
Ayers says that the q. 8. Supreme Court in de-
cison rendered last Monday settled the question
of the jurisdiction of several circuit courts in
mandamus cases. He says the court held that a
circuit court has no original jurisdiction of man
damus, whether originating in such courts or re-
moved to them from a State court. This it is
claimed, dsposes of the eases of Treasurcrs Couch,
of Petersburg, and Harmon, of Stanton, now
pending in the United States Circuit Court. 1t
was sought by mandamus from Judge Bond to
compel the Auditor of the State TO credit the &C
counts of the two treasurers with the amount of
coupons received By them from the taxpayers.
The Attorney General represents Mir. Royal as
c)ncurring in this view of the effect of the decis
ion of the Supreme Court 50 far as it applies to
the cases mentioned.
